7.         Issue over Hedge Maintenance reported by a resident

 

For discussion and decision on a course of action to try and resolve the issue.  Extract of email received from resident:

Re; Hedges along Pye lane. 

Where the road runs past Whiteways and on towards Thornhill it is badly over grown. I have for many years tried to get the hedges cut back complaining to the Parish Council and they in turn to Wiltshire Council. 

Nothing happens, drivers are forced to drive off the road causing potholes, that Wiltshire Council come and fill, the result is the road is moving eastwards towards my land. 

At one point, I stopped cutting my hedge the result was an almost impassable road, at which point I was asked to cut my hedge, which I did, but the other (western side) wasn't. 

This situation needs addressing, and if the parish council cannot get the offending owners to cut their hedge, Wiltshire Council should. 

I have offered to cut them back, and that offer is still available to the owners or Wiltshire Council if they seek to enforce the cutting. 

Many thanks, in expectation of some action!
